Abstract
The Northeastern Neo-Aramaic dialects form the largest branch of the Aramaic language family surviving today (see Map 27.1). They are traditionally allocated to the eastern branch of the family. Northeastern Neo-Aramaic (NENA) is spoken by both Christian and Jewish communities, but not by Muslim communities.
